Re: Shawne Williams arrested for coke

According to reports, Williams' night went to hell when an officer on a routine patrol claims he smelled marijuana coming from a Porsche Panamera which was parked near a Cricket wireless store.

Well at least he was keeping a low profile. Nothing about expensive sports car parked at a "burner" wireless phone store suggests anything abnormal at all. "The Wire" called and wants it's plot back. They didn't even need Bubbles to run a hat scam on him.

Re: Shawne Williams arrested for coke

Shawne Williams seems like a prime example of a person who couldn't escape people from his past.

I hesitate in saying this but.....When are some people going to hold him responsible for his own actions?????????????
The hell with the "people from his past" bunch of BS! It is his fault, not theirs!
These excuses just drive me crazy!

I agree. He has to be held accountable, but it sounds like he has a lot of people trying to drag him down as well. I doubt he wanted his life to end up this way. It's definetly his fault he is in this position.

Re: Shawne Williams arrested for coke

My tally so far is we've missed out on Sam Cassell, Ty Lawson, and Rondo. All players we could have realistically drafted in years where we've had PG trouble.

I'm not sure why we refuse to draft PGs. If you don't count Jerryd Bayless (who isn't a real PG, and later got traded for Jack, another non-PG who left after one year anyway), we haven't drafted a PG in the 1st round since Travis Best! 17 years and counting.

Sorry to go off on a tangent. Its a bit of a sore spot.

Oh, and that Tony Parker guy who was picked at 28...right after Jamaal "dustpan" Tinsley.

Re: Shawne Williams arrested for coke

Ex-NBA player Shawne Williams has pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance following his December arrest ... when cops busted him for smoking a blunt inside his Porsche.

As TMZ previously reported ... Williams was popped in a parking lot in Tennessee after a cop said he smelled weed coming from inside Williams' Panamera. Williams reportedly confessed to the officer that he had weed and codeine (cough syrup) in his car.

Following the arrest, Williams was charged with possession of a controlled substance (for the weed) and possession with intent to sell (for the codeine).

Williams pled guilty to weed possession today and was sentenced to one day in jail and a $500 fine. He was given credit for time served and has already paid the fee.

The codeine charge was dropped after the passenger in Williams' car claimed it was his ... not Williams'.
